Lethbridge, AB – 

It was the Annual TCMM game at Spitz Stadium in Lethbridge.  Lethbridge Bulls of the WMBL vs the Vauxhall Academy Jets.  The game is much more than baseball but a chance to remember the lives lost tragically in December of 2011.  This year brought something new with the 1st Annual kids camp prior to the game.  Over 120 kids enjoyed 1 hour of instruction from the Bulls and Jets players.

Both clubs were a bit short handed with players gone with Team Canada or still not returning from their college season.  The game ended in a tie 6-6 with the Bulls stranding a couple in the bottom of the 9th inning.  The Jets struggled throwing strikes at time which game the Bulls several runs with the Jets outhitting the Bulls 10-2 in the game.
